From the word’s history
First recorded 1747 as currey, borrowed from Tamil கறி, influenced by Middle English cury 'cooking'.
借自坦米爾語 கறி,也受中古英文 cury「烹飪」影響。
The picture to hold for curry is the food: meat, fish or vegetables simmered in a thick, strongly sauce, eaten with rice or bread. The verb listed here does not grow out of that picture — it only lives inside the fixed phrase 'curry favour', and is best learned as its own separate item.
